but only after
photographing it

| "Tennessee Health Department shut down the pool because the lights are not working" So I had been told by the hotel clerk But after pointing to the freeway-adjacent flashing neon sign that read HEATED POOL CABLE TV and slipping him a green picture of a dead president, he allowed me to swim However, that was not the only criminal offense: we smuggled two cats into our hotel room without paying a surcharge |

The unlit pool lived up to
the neon proclamation:
it was heated to
approximately
80 degrees

The dead president
was Andrew Jackson
but the twenty laps
—one for each dollar—
of luxurious swimming
with only me
in the pool
made it worth
every penny
